New Beardie stopped eating...HELP

So I purchased my first bearded dragon rumi from petco (not the best choice I know) 5 days ago (Wednesday october 9th) he is about 9 weeks old I believe. I've been feeding him gut loaded crix from the pet store. 2-3 times a day. At first he was only eating a few at a time and maybe a piece of greens or two. Yesterday he ate about 10-15 crix for his evening feeding. Which I'm told is a normal amount. But today I have not been able to get him to eat at all. His tank is a 40 gallon breeder, with a t5 reptisun 10.0 HO 34" UVB bulb, and a 125 watt mercury vapor basking light. Temperatures are about 100 -106 in the basking area with a 88-94 degree temp gradient around it, temperatures are about 80 on the cool side with 38% humidity. Not sure what's causing him to stop eating, he's still alert, but not very active. He did poop this morning though. If he does not eat at all today I will be making an apt for the vet, just worried because it's been such a short while since I got him
